Sprinkler Repair & Irrigation in Fairview, TX

Irrigation and landscape work in Fairview

Fairview’s residential zoning runs from one-acre through to three-acre ranch estate districts, with a minimum lot width of a hundred and fifty feet on the smallest of them. The town describes itself as large houses on large lots with open space and horse farms, and that is genuinely what it is. It also means the irrigation problems here are the ones you get on acreage: long mainline runs, pressure that falls away by the time it reaches the far corner, and a dozen or more zones on what is still a residential meter.

Fairview is also the only place we work where the town does not assign your watering days. The ordinance limits you to two days a week in summer and one in winter, with nothing running between 10am and 6pm from April through October, but which days is up to you. That is genuinely useful — you can put your two days where the weather and your schedule actually want them rather than where a rota puts them.

Worth flagging honestly: the town’s codified conservation plan and some of its own web pages do not say quite the same thing about the winter limit. The ordinance is the document that governs, and it is linked above, but if you want certainty before reprogramming a controller in November it is worth a call to the town.

Water, soil and rules in Fairview

Fairview purchases its water from the North Texas Municipal Water District. The town’s conservation ordinance limits irrigation to no more than two days a week between 1 April and 31 October, with nothing running between 10am and 6pm, and no more than one day a week from 1 November to 31 March — but unlike its neighbours, Fairview does not assign which days. Note that the town’s own web pages and its codified ordinance differ on the winter limit; the ordinance linked above is the governing document, and the town can confirm the current position.

Under Texas Commission on Environmental Quality rules, selling, designing, installing, altering, repairing or servicing an irrigation system requires a TCEQ licence. Ask any contractor for their license number before work begins — in Fairview as anywhere else in Texas.
